Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehab program which can be a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for anyone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone else is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to have success whenever they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
